Great comeback! Fury knocks out Wilder to reclaim WBC title

British Tyson Fury outclassed Deontay Wilder to complete one of the all-time great comeback stories on Sunday morning.

Fourteen months after their first bout which ended in a draw, Fury knocked Wilder out in the seventh round to recapture the WBC heavyweight glory at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, USA.

The โ€œgypsy kingโ€, as Fury is nicknamed, dominated the fight from round one till he knocked Wilder out.

He first got through Wilder in the third round and again downed him with a body shot in round six with the American never able to recover.

The fight was stopped as Wilderโ€™s corner threw in the towel in round seven.

After the bout, Fury said: โ€œThe king has returned to the top of the throne. I want to shout out Deontay Wilder, he showed the heart of a champion. He got up and battled onto round seven. He is a warrior, he will be back and be champion again.โ€
